The Sick Way ISIS Responded Immediately After CA Massacre Is Raising Eyebrows

Speculation about a possible Islamist motive for the San Bernadino shooting continued today with Breitbart News In Israel reporting that a resident of Gaza who has ties with Islamic State had provided the news site with two messages suggesting ISIS was behind the attack on a Christmas banquet in a facility for mentally disabled.

“The messages came from an encrypted instant messaging service that serves as a Twitter of sorts for Islamic State fighters and their Islamist militant supporters. The Gazan ISIS supporter told Breitbart that the forum had been “ablaze with speculation about Wednesday’s mass shooting inside a California learning disability center. Multiple messages were exchanged celebrating the carnage and speculating whether the attack was carried out by lone wolves acting on behalf of ISIS,” Breitbart reported.

One of the messages was sent by an ISIS or Jabhat Al-Nusra fighter in Iraq by the name of of Abu al-Baraa al-Tunisi. The Jihadi claimed that the shooting was the work of ISIS but admitted he wasn’t sure.

“Oh Allah, we are seeing what is happening now in the country of the donkey, Obama. And it is an act of our partisans of the Islamic State. Even if not, we are going to see it very shortly, our brothers.

“We swear to Allah we will take vengeance even if it will take time, as our sheikhs said. The invasion of Paris won’t be the last one. We are coming to slaughter you. This is your fate, you infidels.”

A second message was sent by somebody with the name Saleel al-Sawarim.

“It seems that our fighters in America and our lone wolves started to act fulfilling the call of our Sheikh (Abu Mohammad) al-Adnani (Spokesman and senior official of Islamic State). We swear that we will repeat the same act that happened on 9-11. And as we grilled your bodies in Paris we swear to Allah that we will not rest until we shake you in the heart of Washington as well as in all the capitals of the infidels. We will invade Washington before invading Rome. Our explosives are on their way to you, you sons of infidels.”

The Asian Tribune, citing experts from Vocativ, reported that several hours after the San Bernadino shooting that killed 14 people, ISIS began celebrating the murders but stopped short of taking responsibility for the attack.

“Three lions made us proud. They are still alive. California streets are full with soldiers with heavy weapons.

The Unites States is burning #America_Burning #Takbir,” were some of the messages intercepted by Vocativ.

Meanwhile, a man who is apparently the father of 28-year-old Syed Rizwan Farook, one of the shooters who was killed by police, described his son as a very religious Muslim:

I haven’t heard anything. He worked in a county office. He’s married and has a kid. We’re estranged because my wife got the divorce, and they are together. She doesn’t want to see me. Farook said he hasn’t seen his son in some time. He was very religious. He would go to work, come back, go to pray, come back. He’s Muslim.

Syed Farook reportedly grew a beard after he went to Saudi Arabia on Haj, the mandatory pilgrimage to the Muslim holy places. The female shooter was identified as Tafsheen Malik, a woman from Pakistan who was living in Saudia Arabia before meeting Farook.

Middle East expert Robert Baer told CNN on Wednesday evening that “the most disturbing aspect of the deadly San Bernardino shooting is that it was carried out using tactics that are employed in the Middle East.”

“What I don’t like about this shooting is multiple shooters… IEDs…I say this very reluctantly, but this has the hallmarks of the sort of attacks you see in the Middle East,” Baer said.
